INTRODUCTION Among the huge variety of insects, only a small assembly group of insects is capable of active lifestyles during the winter period. The most typical representatives of the obligatory winter entomofauna are snow scorpionflies (Mecoptera: Boreidae) and snow flies (Diptera: Limoniidae, Chionea spp.). Imagoes of these species are mainly active in winter period and frequently found on snow (Savchenko, 1969; Pavlov, 2006; Oosterbroek & Reusch, 2008). Several species of the snow scorpionflies are known from the European part and Far East in Russia (Plutenko, 1995; Nikolayev, 2015), but no species were recorded from Siberia (Gabdullina & Nikolajev, 2015; Martynova, 1954). There are 8 species of the snow flies genus Chionea in Russia (Pilipenko et al., 2016; Vertyankin, 2017). Two species has been recorded from Western Siberia, namely Ch. araneoides Dalman, 1816 was found at the beginning of the 20th century in the Yamalo- Nenets Autonomous Okrug (Boldyrev, 1913) and Ch. crassipes Boheman, 1846 was recently recorded from the Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug (Oosterbroek, 2018). New data on distribution of the winter insects in Western Siberia are given in present paper. 12 NEW RECORDS Order Mecoptera Family Boreidae Boreus (Boreus) westwoodi Hagen, 1866 Figs 1, 2 MATERIAL EXAMINED. Russia: Tyumen oblast: Tobolsky district, Vinokurova village, 58°21'N, 68°20'E, siberian pine-spruce-fir forest with green moss, 29.IV 2009, 1♂ (E.V. Sergeeva leg.); same locality, 23.IV.–11.V 2012, 1♂ (D.E. Galich leg.); same locality, 11.IV 2014, 1♀ (D.E. Galich leg.); same locality, 25.IV 2014, 2♂ (D.E. Galich leg.); Tobolsky district, 58°19'N, 68°20'E, pine forest, 23.IV–07.V 2010, 1♂ (D.E. Galich leg.); same locality, 20.III 2015, 1♀ (D.E. Galich leg.); Abramova village, 58°24'N, 68°26'E, bank of the Aremzyanka River, 21.IV 2014, 1♂ (D.E. Galich leg.); Uvatsky district, 58°10'N, 68°17'E, pine forest with sphagnum, 15.IV 2015, 1♂ (D.E. Galich leg.). DISTRIBUTION. Northern, Central and Eastern Europe (Hagvar & Østbye, 2011), north and the center of the European part of Russia (Dorochova & Martynova, 1987; Nikolajev, 2015). NOTES. Here this species is firstly recorded from Asia (Western Siberia: Tyumen oblast). Order Diptera Family Limoniidae Chionea (Chionea) araneoides Dalman, 1816 Fig. 3 MATERIAL EXAMINED. Russia: Tyumen oblast, Uvatsky district, upstream of the Manguya River, 58°30'N 69°33'E, siberian pine-spruce-fir forest, 02.XII 2017, 1♂ (D.S. Nizovtsev leg.). DISTRIBUTION. Northern Europe and the mountains of Central Europe and Romania (Oosterbroek & Reusch, 2008). In Russia it is known from the Leningradskaya oblast, Karelia, Kola Peninsula and Siberia (Boldyrev, 1913; Savchenko, 1982, 1989). NOTES. This species was recorded from Yamburg (Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug) by Boldyrev (1913). Here it is recorded from Tyumen oblast for the first time. Chionea (Chionea) crassipes crassipes Boheman, 1846 Figs 4, 5 MATERIAL EXAMINED. Russia: Tyumen oblast, Uvatsky district, upstream of the Manguya River, 58°30'N 69°33'E, siberian pine-spruce-fir forest, 06.III 2017, 1♂; same locality, 02.XII 2017, 1♀, 1♂ (D.S. Nizovtsev leg.). DISTRIBUTION. The nominotypical subspecies is distributed in Fennoscandia and Northwest Russia (Oosterbroek & Reusch, 2008). In Russia this subspecies was recorded from Kola Peninsula (Savchenko, 1989) and the environs of Khanty-Mansiysk (Khanty- Mansi Autonomous Okrug) (Oosterbroek, 2018). All other records from Siberia and Russian Far East (Savchenko, 1989; Sidorenko, 2011) apparently refer to another East Palaearctic subspecies (Ch. c. gracilistyla Alexander, 1936 and Ch. c. magadanensis Narchuk, 1998) (Oosterbroek & Reusch, 2008). 13 NOTES. Here the nominotypical subspecies is recorded from Tyumen oblast for the first time. Figs. 1–5.
